Creating new Windows Folder places it inside a Fence

Windows Version Number: Windows 11 25H2 (26200.9457)
App Version: 6.54

Creating a new default Windows folder (nothing related to Fences) will automatically place this folder in a Fence. Not another FolderPortal, but just Fences.

- deleting the Fence and creating a new one results in the same issue
- creating a new Shortcut (for example for a folder) won't result in this behaviour
- restarting the computer did not help
- all settings are default (I literally installed it 10 minutes ago) including "All new icons >> "the general desktop"
- full version (not trial)

On a side note: Why is "All new icons" a button if it does not lead to any options?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. For the new Windows folder automatically move to a Fences, try looking into your type-based rules.
